This is a comparative study of “council communist” movements in Germany and Italy in the interwar period. These were movements towards establishing an alternative social organization to capitalism in which workers could determine conditions of production and the distribution of the economic returns through the political organs of workers’ councils. This research looks at the way multiplicity of factors, including the states, unions, political parties, and social classes, played different roles in the emergence and the eventual routinization of these revolutionary movements in Germany and Italy after the First World War.
